In his first book since the bestselling Fermat's Enigma, Simon Singh offers the first sweeping history of encryption, tracing its evolution and revealing the dramatic effects codes have had on wars, nations, and individual lives. From Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped by her own code, to the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the Allies win World War II, to the incredible (and incredibly simple) logisitical breakthrough that made Internet commerce secure, The Code Book tells the story of the most powerful intellectual weapon ever known: secrecy.Throughout the text are clear technical and mathematical explanations, and portraits of the remarkable personalities who wrote and broke the world's most difficult codes. Accessible, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this book will forever alter your view of history and what drives it. It will also make you wonder how private that e-mail you just sent really is.

Amazon.com ReviewAn Amazon Best Book of September 2020: Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan series sparked readers around the world to immerse themselves in the intricate and intimate world of a neighborhood in Naples—the families, the friends, the lovers, the enemies, and the drama of life, loss, loyalty, and love. Ferrante and her translator, Ann Goldstein, revealed a world of extreme interiority that was richly satisfying and bursting with authenticity. And it’s thrilling to share that her new novel, The Lying Life of Adults, which follows Giovanna through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, is just as rewarding. As she takes to heart her aunt’s maxim to “look, look carefully," an entirely new world opens up to Giovanna—one that simultaneously frightens and excites even as it changes her whole perception of her parents, the city she loves, and the people around her. Reading Ferrante’s The Lying Life of Adults is to be fully consumed by the contradictions and complexities of the human spirit, and it’s exhilarating indeed. —Al Woodworth, Amazon Book ReviewEditors' pick: Get ready to be fully consumed by the contradictions and complexities of the human spirit. It’s exhilarating indeed."—Al Woodworth, Amazon Editor

"How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home," says Darl Bundren in William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. How much Faulkner himself is speaking may be suggested by this moving collection of nearly 150 letters. Written during his twenties, these letters describe Faulkner's first encounters with the North ("...I made my first subway trip yesterday. The experience showed me that we are not descended from monkeys, as some say, but from lice."); his brief World War I military service, which grew in the retelling; the productive New Orleans months with Sherwood Anderson; and his first trip to Europe, with cold autumn days in Paris ("Good thing the Lord gave these folks wine--they rate a recompense of some kind for this climate.") Fascinating in themselves for their close observation of people and places, the letters also offer glimmers of The Sound and the Fury and other future works, as the young writer stores up characters, settings, and events that will re-emerge, transformed, int the great novels of his maturity. Never before published, these letters are from the Faulkner collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin. "These letters, for years sequestered and unavailable, are among the most informative, touching, and eloquent William Faulkner ever wrote. No Faulkner specialist can be without this book; no Faulkner admirer should be without it."-Joseph Blotner, author of Faulkner: A Biography

YKTO contains over 1,800 photographs by Tomoyuki Sagami of buildings and houses constructed in Japan soon after World War II. Presenting images taken between 2006 and 2017 in Yokohama, Kawasaki, Tokyo and other cities (hence the book's title), Sagami creates an archive for future generations of idiosyncratic architectural styles that are disappearing due to changing laws and lifestyles, and the ever-growing Japanese metropolis. Sagami adopted a systematic, impersonal method for his project: while employed to post advertising flyers in various neighborhoods, he photographed the particular area he found himself in, block by block, without any prior knowledge of its geography. The resulting images of homes, shops, streetscapes, gardens and alleys are eerily absent of people and free from any personal emotion or inclination on Sagami's part. YKTO is a timely topography of a rapidly vanishing form of urban existence in Japan.
